How has the School Street progressed?
- In February 2023 we held our first engagement event at the school to discuss our ambition to create a permanent School Street on Heyward Road.
- In March 2023 we attended two parents’ evenings where we asked for feedback about creating a permanent School Street.
- In March/April 2023 we asked local residents to share their opinions on introducing a permanent School Street.
- In July 2023 we held a second engagement event to share our proposed designs.
- In November 23 – January 24 we held pop-ups at the gate, discussing the proposal with parents and showing how the School Street will look.
- In January 2024 we sent residents their access permits. Parents, residents and businesses were informed about the School Streets start date.
- In February 2024 the School Street launched. Our team spent a few weeks speaking with parents, carers and residents about the changes
- In May 2024 notices were put up in surrounding streets asking people to complete our online survey to let us know what they think about the School Street.
- In July 2024 we shared information with the school to ensure parents and carers had the opportunity to share their views. We also encouraged them to complete the survey in person.
- In August 2024 we spoke to residents and encouraged them to have their say. 18 August 2024 marked the end of the first six months of the School Street, as well as the end of the consultation period.
- In November 2024 all feedback on the scheme was included in a recommendations report presented at the Transport Cabinet Member’s Decision Meeting, where a decision was made to make Bramble School Street permanent.
- In July 2025 the scheme became permanent.
